Introduced by state Rep. Jeff Perry as someone with the will to “challenge the uber-liberal William Delahunt,” Cohasset Republican Ray Kasperowicz brought his congressional candidacy to the Cape this week.

On Nov. 10, the Navy veteran and CPA told the Sandwich Republican Town Committee jokingly that “my wife got sick of me yelling at the TV, so now I can’t go home.”

What he’s seen on the tube has convinced Kasperowicz that “we have to reverse or stop the craziness going on in Washington.”

The candidate’s platform calls for “focus on economic growth and prosperity, not government growth and control” and an end to “legislative nonsense such as cap and trade [economic incentives for pollution control] and health care reform.”

On the latter issue, he said, “None of it is sustainable. If you’ve got a weak structure now, let’s not add a couple of floors to the structure.”

Kasperowicz faulted the stimulus program for funneling funds to government programs, which he said “don’t create goods and services.” He railed against the size of government, which he denounced as “so big and so expensive,” and said the average private sector hourly rate with fringe benefits is $26 an hour while the comparable public sector number is $39.

The candidate said he’s for “strong national security” and “a beefier military. We can’t keep deploying the same people over and over again.” He’s also a “fierce advocate” of the border patrol and 2nd Amendment rights.

“I’m a big parental choice advocate” when it comes to choice of schools, Kasperowicz said, suggesting a tax credit that would let parents choose their schools. From the audience, former selectman Frank Pannorfi challenged the candidate to explore the issue more fully, and the two men agreed to talk afterward.
